The Yes Men Are RevoltingMonday, September 21, 2015, 7:30pm, Gibsons Heritage Playhouse

For the last 20 years, notorious activists the Yes Men have staged outrageous and hilarious hoaxes to draw international attention to corporate crimes against humanity and the environment. Armed with nothing but thrift-store suits and a lack of shame, these iconoclastic revolutionaries lie their way into business events and government functions to expose the dangers of letting greed run our world. In their third cinematic outing (after The Yes Men and The Yes Men Fix the World), they are now well into their 40s, and their mid-life crises are threatening to drive them out of activism forever – even as they prepare to take on the biggest challenge they’ve ever faced: climate change. More than the first two films, The Yes Men Are Revolting is as much a character study as it is an entertaining depiction of their latest interventions. Revealing the real people behind the ruses, at its heart lies a hopeful message about fighting for change. USA, 2014, 91min

How to Change the WorldMonday, October 5, 7:30pm, Gibsons Heritage Playhouse

In 1971 a brave group of young activists set sail from Vancouver in an old fishing boat. Their mission: to stop Nixon's atomic bomb tests in Amchitka, a tiny island off the west coast of Alaska. It was from these humble but courageous beginnings that the global organisation that we now know as Greenpeace was born. Chronicling the fascinating untold story behind the modern environmental movement, this gripping new film tells the story of eco-hero Robert Hunter and how he, alongside a group of like-minded and idealistic young friends in the '70s, would be instrumental in altering the way we now look at the world and our place within it.UK, 2015, 110 min, directed by Jerry Rothwell.

The Rhizome Up! Media Society produces both the Green Film Series and Queer Projections film events. Rhizome Up! Media is a non-profit society.

The Green Film Series is dedicated to using film as a tool for community engagement on environmental and sustainability issues. Along with our community partners, we create events fostering the role of film as a catalyst for dialogue, networking and action.

Queer Projections aims to bring queer films to the Sunshine Coast in order to promote LGBTQ visibility and encourage communication and connections across our varied communities. Through these film events, we hope to foster understanding, equality, diversity and counteract the effects of homophobia and discrimination.
